The Queens played an important role in the establishment of the 18th dynasty. Queen Tetisheri started in the 17th dynasty. A dynasty is the sucession of hereditary rulers, from the same family. This was the beginning of New Kingdom Egypt. The importance of Queen Tetisheri was her royal blood line; although she did not come from royal blood parents. This was formed through the Old Kingdom Egypt’s royal bloodline. If you could trace yourself back to Tetisheri’s bloodline then you could be Queen. Queen Tetisheri was the wife of seqenenre Tao the 1st. Seqenenre was a great warrior king. This shows that Seqenenre was in war at the time of Tetisheri’s ruling. This was because Egypt had just defeated the Hyksos and came to rule again in their new capital Thebes. Queen Tetisheri was also the mother of Seqenenre the 2nd. In Queen Tetisheri’s honour by her grandson Ahmose, she had a pyramid and chapel built in Abydos. This shows the importance of Queen Tetisheri’s power. Her bloodline was the only proof anyone could become king or queen. The importance of this evidence, with Ahmose honouring Queen Tetisheri with buildings is his proof of how much he respected his Grandmother which brought him back to the royal blood line, in which he could be King. Overall Queen Tetisheri played an important role of the Queens as she established the 18th dynasty. Queen Ahotepp II was the mother of Ahmose. Some evidence shows that she was also wife of Khamose, however we are not entirely sure. She was the daughter of Queen Tetisheri. Queen Ahotepp II has eveidence to show she played a military role in Egypt. Ahotepp II quelled rebellion in upper Egypt during the war of the Hyksos. The Hyksos were a group of people who tried to take over and successfully did for quite some time. Although by the end of the 17th dynasty, Egypt had become a whole new place. Not only did Egypt have a new outlook for their country they also had a new capital, Thebes. Queen Ahotepp II cared for Egypt, she...

The Growth of Egyptian Civilization
Egypt has been called “the gift of the Nile.” Without this mighty river, all Egypt would be desert, for it receives little rainfall. Heavy spring and summer rains at the source of the Nile once caused the river to overflow regularly each July. The yearly flooding of the Nile made it possible for Neolithic farmers to grow crops in the valley. The flood waters brought moisture to the dry land and also left behind a layer of rich black soil that was excellent for crops.
To increase the number of crops they could grow each year, the ancient Egyptians built reservoirs to store water and dug canals to carry it to the fields. Besides encouraging farming, the Nile was excellent for transportation route. Vast deserts to the east and west of the river protected Egypt from attack, allowing people of the Nile villages to enjoy long periods of peace and prosperity.
The Egyptians believe in many gods.
Egyptians believed that many gods controlled nature, sent yearly floods, and made the crops grow or as the dwelling places of gods. Egyptian polytheism included the worship of animals such as cats or crocodiles. The Egyptians believed the gods could change their shape. An important feature of Egyptians religion was the belief in life after death. The Egyptians connected their beliefs about...

...Early Egyptian Religious Beliefs and Akhenaten's Reforms
During the New Kingdom of Egypt (from 1552 through 1069 B.C.), there came a sweeping change in the religious structure of the ancient Egyptian civilization. "The Hymn to the Aten" was created by Amenhotep IV, who ruled from 1369 to 1353 B.C., and began a move toward a monotheist culture instead of the polytheist religion which Egypt had experienced for the many hundreds of years prior to the introduction of this new idea. There was much that was different from the old views in "The Hymn to the Aten", and it offered a new outlook on the Egyptian ways of life by providing a complete break with the traditions which Egypt held to with great respect. Yet at the same time, there were many commonalties between these new ideas and the old views of the Egyptian world. Although through the duration of his reign, Amenhotep IV introduced a great many changes to the Egyptian religion along with "The Hymn", none of these reforms outlived their creator, mostly due to the massive forces placed on his successor, Tutankhamen, to renounce these new reforms. However, the significance of Amenhotep IV, or Akhenaten as he later changed his name to, is found in "The Hymn". "The Hymn" itself can be looked at as a contradiction of ideas; it must be looked at in relation to both the Old Kingdom's belief of steadfast and static values, as well as in regards to the...

...the role of art and architecture within the Mesopotamian and Egyptian hierarchy and its purpose. Throughout history, human civilization has learned to convey messages through various means. One of the most significant of them all is the language of art and architecture. From every corner of the planet, we see this trend. From Egypt to Iraq, from Asia to Africa, art and symbols along with architectures of various types show the power of past leaders. We will discuss how rulers convey their power through art and architecture and the ultimate purpose of that display. The Mesopotamian and Egyptian leaders both demonstrate through their magnificent artistic creations a distinctive bond between themselves and the gods.
Lying beneath the ruins in the heart of modern Iraq are some of the most ancient civilizations known to man. The Sumerian, the Acadian and the Babylonians even pre-date the Egyptians. Some researchers are of the opinion that they were the precursors of Egyptians, and modern research seems to suggest this as а fact. We see similarities in both civilizations in the traditions they followed in terms of art and architecture. The great power of those in power is expressed well in each instance and in comparable ways.
It is interesting to note that both civilizations grew along great rivers, for example the Euphrates River for Mesopotamia. The civilization of Sumer was even richer than that of the...

...individual memory, one can perceive a greater insight. In developing such texts, composers utilize ﬁlmic and textual forms to achieve their speciﬁc point of view. The Queen (2006) by Stephen Frears, is a biopic which combines representations of the queens both as the regal monarch, and as the head of a family to connote the value of personal memory intertwining with recorded history, constructing powerful yet unknown responses from the audience. Similarly, the Biggest Hit (2012) is Good Weekend Feature Article (SMH, JULY) which combines the sentimental perspective of the iconic Australian song, Down Under with the factual court documentations to create the narrative of Greg Ham. Thus, through analysis of the way in which authors have interconnected history and memory that create strong and unforeseen visions, a connection between memory and history is seen.
When fact and memory combine, history becomes more authentic When history and memory are represented in duality, a insightful truth emerges
The director Stephen Frears represents a vision of Elizabeth II as both the head of her state, a distant, regal and traditional ﬁgure as well as the head of a fragile family under public scrutiny. He achieves this through the juxtaposition of two ﬁlmic techniques - the use of edited sequences of media footage deriding the queen as insensitive, and the custodian of an impossible tradition that has fallen out of relevance with the modern...

Snow White vs. The? Evil Queen
Is intelligence set and unchangeable, or can it be developed and molded? Does failure mean that you can’t do what you attempted, or is it just a setback-- something that you can learn from? Are challenges seen as condescending, or an opportunity to improve? In the story of Snow White, there is an Evil Queen that is jealous of Snow White’s beauty. Before Snow White, she was the fairest of them all. The Queen had a plan to poison an apple, which would kill Snow White. However, when she fails, she becomes extremely angry because she feels that her failure showed weakness. Snow White, on the other hand, is more peaceful and she sees the Evil Queen as a challenge; a way to build her character, strength, and mind. In life, people have their own preferences and their own thoughts on certain topics. When I am living my life, I can be both the Evil Queen and Snow White depending on the situation; I have a tendency to see others at a threat at times; however, I also see failure as just a setback, and I am constantly trying to improve.
These thoughts and ways of thinking are mainly based on a mentality, which is a habitual or characteristic mental attitude that determines how you will interpret and respond to situations. There are two main types that are most commonly seen in people: fixed mindsets and growth...

...specifically the relationship between social media and the Egyptian Revolution. Building on this foundation, this essay will prove that social media platforms were the major catalysts for social change in Egypt. To begin, social media, or more precisely Twitter and Facebook, defined and formed the movement's collective identity. These platforms represented safe environments that permitted individuals to consult about common grievances and share revolutionary ideas (Comunello & Anzera, 2012; 466). Furthermore, social media applications played key roles in facilitating the efforts needed for communication, organization, and recruitment (ibid). These applications were highly trusted as they allowed activists to network effortlessly and moreover, assisted in turning rational individuals into constituents. Lastly, social media aided in attracting global support and 'helped spread democratic ideas across international borders' (Comunello & Anzera, 2012; 466). By referencing the works of scholars such as Kenneth Pollack, Halim Rane and Francesca Communello, this paper will prove social media as the underlying force of the Egyptian revolution.
To begin, the conversations held on Facebook and Twitter shaped the collective identity that would make 'individuals feel capable of effecting change' (Staggenborg, 2008; 191). Twitter and Facebook were the underlying catalytic forces of the movement as they provided a space that would allow...

Betrayal
(A prelude to Hamlet from the perspective of Queen Gertrude)
Sharyna Labrecque
I know I shouldn't have, but one doesn't always do what one knows is right. I suppose I was bored of regular court life and looking for some excitement. My husband, the king, is always so occupied with affairs of state. Although he loves me, he doesn’t seem to notice me most of the time. The king is a good man but I would like a bit of intrigue in our relationship. A relationship, in my opinion, should be exciting and cause your heart to flutter every once in a while. When Claudius, the king's brother, first began making advances to me, I was flattered and felt like I had not felt in years. There was the excitement that came from courting danger, and he is a dangerous man. He was a man to which one would think twice before saying “no” to. I convinced myself that it would be alright. Just a look, then a touch, then a kiss. Why do I feel so guilty then? I suppose if it had remained a lighthearted romance, it wouldn't be so bad. It had all happened so quickly, one minute things were innocent, and the next minute we were in my bed. Oh why did I let it go so far? I never wanted this to happen? What vanity has led me to this? What would my husband say or do if he found out? He would have his brother executed immediately. But he would never do such a thing to me, he loves me too much. Perhaps I should I confess the whole affair to my husband and beg his forgiveness and...
